First Snow

"First Snow" is the most tactile and almost three dimensional of my work so far shown.

The stone wall has been realistically worked, with detail been given to show the ravages of the weather.

The trees in the middle distance are firmer and stouter, having more substance to them than in any other painting shown so far - though one tree in the background loses some credibility having its bare branches applied naively.

The foreground diagonal path and grassy verge, reflect the coldness of the painting with sparse colour and gaps in texture representing puddles, reflecting the bleak sky.
